Quote

At Poltersberg, there is a lake similarly cursed. If you throw a stone into it, a dreadful storm immediately arises, and the whole neighboring district quakes to its centre. 'Tis the devils kept prisoner there.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved.
Martin Luther
Image
If there is anything in us, it is not our own it is a gift of God. But if it is a gift of God, then it is entirely a debt one owes to love, that is, to the law of Christ. And if it is a debt owed to love, then I must serve others with it, not myself.
Martin Luther
Image
World, death, devil, hell, away and leave me in peace! You have no hold on me. If you will not let me live, then I will die. But you won't succeed in that. Chop my head off, and it won't harm me. I have a God who will give me a new one.
Martin Luther
Image
The dog is the most faithful of animals and would be much esteemed were it not so common. Our Lord God has made His greatest gifts the commonest.
Martin Luther
Image
what is sought by means of free choice is to make room for merits.
Martin Luther
Image
And though this world with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us.
Martin Luther
Image
A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight.
Martin Luther
Image
God does not love sinners because they are attractive sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.
Martin Luther
Image
No one can believe how powerful prayer is and what it can effect, except those who have learned it by experience. Whenever I have prayed earnestly, I have been heard and have obtained more than I prayed for. God sometimes delays, but He always comes.
Martin Luther
Image
God doesn't slack his promises because of our sins or hasten them because of our righteousness. He pays no attention to either.
Martin Luther
Image
God is not a God of sadness, death, etc., but the devil is. Christ is a God of joy, and so the Scriptures often say that we should rejoice ... A Christian should and must be a cheerful person.
Martin Luther
Image
A good servant is a real godsend, but truly this is a rare bird in the land.
Martin Luther
Image
Undoubtedly they do more and viler things than those which we know and discover
Martin Luther
Image
Nothing in the world causes so much misery as uncertainty.
Martin Luther
Image
Leave the ass burdened with laws behind in the valley. But your conscience, let it ascend with Isaac into the mountain.
Martin Luther
Image
We need not invite the Devil to our table he is too ready to come without being asked. The air all about us is filled with demons.
Martin Luther
Image
We know, on the authority of Moses, that longer than six thousand years the world did not exist.
Martin Luther
Image
This error of free will is a special doctrine of the Antichrist.
Martin Luther
Image
We must meet hate with love. We must meet physical force with soul force.
Martin Luther
Image
One drop of Christ's blood is worth more than heaven and earth.
Martin Luther
